Well, it has been a very adventurous week with my daughter and her family. Monday we stopped at Theodore Roosevelt National Park and did some hiking in the badlands canyons, the Painted Canyon trail. The next morning we stopped at the Yellowstone Hot Springs pools in Corwin Springs for a few hours of relaxing in the hot springs before going on to Yellowstone National Park and a visit to the Mammoth Hot Springs before heading to West Yellowstone to our rented cabin.
The next three days were packed with hiking and visiting geysers in all forms. Naturally, Old Faithful, the Firehole Lake Trail, the Canyon Village and an assortment of falls kept us occupied so that our days were packed to the limit so that we ended each day exhausted. Our last day was spent without our daughter’s family as they went for a white-water rafting adventure. We went for a 17 km hike along and old freight road that took us to the Grand Prismatic Spring.
The hike was quite memorable as we twice had to share the trail with bison. This bison was totally disinterested in me and didn’t want to leave his munching. We were very slow in edging our way around him. We got to see a lot of animals in the park and on our journey there and home. Elk, antelope, deer, pheasants, and more.
The holiday is over and it is time to get back to writing and enjoying as much of my life lived nude as possible.
